That person is @caro_lane who won the book “Vicious Circle” by Linda  Robertson (@authorlinda)  and a surprise piece of swag obtained from Authors After Dark Convention.

CONGRATS!!!!

Caro – please send me your mailing address to kimi@talechasing.com so I can send this off to you. I hope to get it out to you this week but no later then next as I am going to Albacon this coming weekend.

——-

As a side note….I’m super busy with a piece of fiction I need to write for Albacon that I’ll be reading!! The story will also go up (in audio form) here and over at Guardiansnovel.com as it’s a story for the series!!! Please remember the site needs some fixin up. I’m also trying to get ready for the convention and I’m working on a special project to promote authors of #specfic (which encompasses everything from urban fantasy to paranormal romance to steampunk and on and on). Talechasing will be a part of this site so I’m not just starting some new random project. *grins* I want to help promote all of you writers/authors and this will definitely help.

Anyway the reason I mention this is because it means I don’t have an episode to go up. Oh I have episodes that can go up but none put together. So…when I get the story written, I’m packed, and I’ve done a few other things for the #specfic secret project – I will set up a TaleChasing podcast to go up on Friday Oct 8. Thanks for the patience.

P.S. I will be posting all the places you can come and see me at Albacon coming up in another blog post.

Now the goodies!

There is a CONTEST:

To win an urban fantasy book and a piece of swag from the AADCon 2010 all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. I will announce the winner in next week’s podcast. You MUST leave a way to get in touch with you, twitter, facebook, email…SOMETHING or you loose if your name is chosen.

Tee Morris is a beloved founding father of the podcasting community; co-creator of Podiobooks.com, writer of four social media books, and the first novelist to serialize his novel.

On the 5th of January 2010 Tee found himself facing raising his daughter (with the alias of Sonic Boom) alone, after the sudden, shocking death of his wife Natalie.

The podcasting, writing, and social media community gathered around and within days had raised over $10,000 to cover funeral expenses and other pressing bills Tee was facing. This response was incredible, and showed just how much Tee has touched the lives of others.

However now, as a community we are turning our attention to Sonic Boom’s future. She is only five now, and relying on Tee to provide everything for her. We have the aim of providing a trust buffer for her, so that she can go to college if she wants.

Nothing is going to replace her mother, but the funds raised will give more opportunities . So writers, podcasters and creative types of all stripes are offering up items for auction.

This event will be a webathon run by Podcasting’s very own Rich Sigfrit, with a plethora of special guests and fun. Rumor has it there may even be a studio audience.  It will take place live online at 10amEST  February 27th 2010. Watch the event here

We’ve already got over one hundred awesome auction lots, with more rolling in daily (from 3 chapters read by Agent Laurie McLean, signed books and podcasts, a handwriting analysis course, clothing, to artwork by the man who voiced Pilot in Farscape) – so follow us on twitter (boomeffect)  or subscribe to this feed to keep an eye on the goodness. And if you can’t make it, you can always make a proxy bid.

But unless grandma is visiting, the cat needs to go to the vet, or a meteor visits our fair planet, you should try and be there.

You wouldn’t want to miss the Social (Media) event of the season after all!
So join us 10am EST 27th February 2010, and let’s make a difference in the life of this most awesome of little girls.

Here’s my lot for the auction!

SB015- Custom made audio promo

Promos are hard! Finding just the right words, music in 60 seconds to draw people to your product or promo can be harder than finding a needle in a haystack warehouse. So why not get someone else to do it?

The lovely and talented Kimi Alexandre will take the burden off you. This auction lot is for 60 second audio promo with background music. Kimi will help write the copy if there is none, voice, edit, and produce it.

What could possibly be simpler?

This item will be auctioned in the Bespoke items timeslot on February 27th.

Can’t make the event?  Then place a proxy bid
